1 PHYSICSBOWL 2011 MARCH 30 APRIL 13, QUESTIONS 45 MINUTES The sponsors of the 2011 PhysicsBowl, including the American Association of Physics Teachers, are providing some of the prizes to recognize outstanding high school physics students and their teachers through their performance on this year s contest. o o Schools compete in one of 15 regions, each with two divisions. Division 01 is for students taking physics for the first time (even if that first course is AP Physics). Division 02 is for students taking a second (or more) course in physics or anyone wishing a challenge. A school's team score in each division is the sum of the five highest student scores in that division. A school may compete in either or both divisions. INSTRUCTIONS Answer sheet: Write and bubble-in the following REQUIRED information on your answer sheet: Your Name Your School s CEEB code (given to you by your teacher) Your Teacher s AAPT Teacher code (given to you by your teacher only one code per school!) Your Region (given to you by your teacher) Your Division (01 for first-year physics students, 02 for students in a second physics course) If ALL of this information is not properly bubbled, you will be disqualified from individual awards as your official score will be a zero. Your answer sheet will be machine graded. Be sure to use a #2 pencil, fill the bubbles completely, and make no stray marks on the answer sheet. Questions: The test is composed of 50 questions; however, students will be required to answer only 40 questions. Answers should be marked on the answer sheet next to the number corresponding to the number of the question on the test. Division 01 students will answer only questions Numbers on the answer sheet should remain blank for all Division 01 students. Division 02 students will answer only questions Numbers 1 10 on the answer sheet should remain blank for all Division 02 students. Calculator: A hand-held calculator may be used. Any memory must be cleared of data and programs. Calculators may not be shared. Formulas and constants: Only the formulas and constants provided with these instructions may be used. Time limit: 45 minutes. Score: Your score is equal to the number of correct answers (no deduction for incorrect answers). If there are tie scores, the entries will be compared, from the end of the test forward, until the tie is resolved. Thus, the answers to the last few questions may be important in determining the winner, and you should consider them carefully. Good Luck! Copyright 2011, AAPT Divisions 01 & 02 1 Divisions 01 & 02
